The Sniper is good at taking out enemies standing on objectives though, so it should still come in handy. During the campaign, I’ll need to make sure I keep this little guy safely tucked away – hopefully somewhere nice and high on the back lines. However, with a survive of 7+, if it gets hit, it’s likely to die very quickly. Occasionally my Sniper will perform extremely well and sit in cover while taking pot shots at the enemy. Goblin Sniper (14pts) – I have a love/hate relationship with the Goblin Sniper. Potentially even causing problems in deployment zones early in a game. Able to chomp the enemy on a 4+ and with AP1, these speedy menaces are good for getting in the enemy’s face nice and quick. These are the guys that will hopefully be claiming those all-important objectives, while everyone else is kicking ass and taking Nameless.ģ x Mawbeasts (12pts each) – NOM! NOM! NOM! Mawbeasts are an essential part of any Marauder strike team. TROOPSĢ x Marauder Commandos (12pts each) – the Commandos are pretty handy when it comes to shooting (5+) and survive on an impressive (4+). But Tactician(2) and arguably the best Splat in the game makes him an no-brainer. But what’s in my 200pts list? Let’s take a closer look… LEADERĬommando Captain (28pts) – I mean, come on! Who doesn’t love the Commando Captain. Therefore, they probably would have kitted them out with the best tech available at the time. After all, before the Mandrake Rebellion, corporations hired the Marauders for their grunt work. With the colour scheme for these, I wanted something similar to the Enforcers. Goblin Sniper Barry and Larry – Super Ripper Bros. Anyway, let’s take a look at the Marauders…Ĭaptain Kurtz Marauder Commandos Mawbeasts! Once I’ve got my Nameless painted up, I can potentially switch over to them. One of the good things about the Deadzone campaign though, is that participants won’t be locked to one faction. Although I painted these a while back, they’re going to be my initial faction for the start of the campaign. To be honest, I never should have strayed from old faithful. This meant, there was only one thing to do – it was time to go back to my trusty Marauders. Unfortunately, all this indecision gave me a bit of a problem – I didn’t have the 200pt strike team I wanted to create for the summer campaign. This meant I started painting lots of tentacles and getting excited about Triclinic Shards. But then the Nameless arrived in the office and, you know, they’re the Nameless. A Sphyr leader, a couple of Yndij troops, a human trooper, Rin with sniper rifle, Grogan and a Teraton Shock Trooper. This meant I ditched the Forge fathers and began to paint a Rebs faction. With this new leader you can choose your race, so I immediately liked the idea of a Sphyr captain, leading the Rebs into battle. This was mainly because I loved the idea of the Rebel Cell Leader, introduced in Deadzone: Outbreak. What a great start to the campaign, I foolishly thought.īut while doing the Forge Fathers, the Rebs and their myriad alien races started to catch my eye. Therefore way back in the distant past of May I painted up 150pts of Forge Fathers with wonderful plans to add lots more stunty, heavily armoured fellows. One of the factions I had always wanted to build/paint were the Forge Fathers. When we started talking about the Deadzone summer campaign, my plan was easy. Specifically I have a problem about making up my mind. My name is Rob Burman and I have a problem.
